Don't get me wrong I've one here who if he hasn't shit in his water dish it's a surprise.. but as for the rest... complete no no.. from day dot. And it sounds like a mental health issue thread.. I live in a built up area and even if I lived in the woods it would be the same...they should only sound if a stranger about... my dogs are happy..they get good food a good home plenty of exercise...and more importantly plenty of work... socializing with what I deem relevant.. also never a routine...

AndyD89 253 Posted September 2, 2021 Report Share Posted September 2, 2021 This pup iv got at the mo is a pretty clean well behaved dog in general but does do a few things that do my tits clean in. She is a path walking shitter , has a habit of pulling the heads off flowers in the garden . Also has this really annoying habit of incessantly grabbing at the buckle on the side of me wellies while walking. But will only do it if we in a wide open space. If we’re in a wood or Bridle way etc never does it at all, soon as we go through a gate into a field , she’s at it straight away for a good 40/50 yards till I loose me rag then stops but only in a wide open space for some reason. Was once walking a Labrador pup I had years ago one morning after a massive skin full the night before. She goes off an is in a hedge bottom propa keen on something. Comes trundling back to me with sumat in her mouth. In my still half pissed daze I reach down to take whatever it is out of her mouth. Only to realise it’s a diarrhoea filled nappy, witch of course instantly burst all over my hands causing me to projectile vomit all over the parish. We then staggered back to the house with me sick splashed all up the front of me kegs an her with shit plastered all over her face.... not our finest hour. She turned into a cracking dog to be fair tho 1 1 Quote Link to post

Cleaning it can be a cnut sometimes though. I soak it in hot water get most of the muck off then use a nail brush with just washing up liquid, scrub like fook, then soak it in hot soapy water for an hour again, scrub again, rinse as best, then bang it in the washing machine in a pillow case, with the dog towels. Bit of a process granted but it's still going strong and has at least another 3 dogs in it Quote Link to post

Wales1234 5,489 Posted September 3, 2021 Report Share Posted September 3, 2021 I was heavier handed when I was younger and would stress out if the dogs weren’t doing what I wanted day time , but Iv chilled out a lot and realised they know better than me , also they live with me now instead of my uncles yard so have a much better working bond and I can keep a close eye on any knocks , they spend a lot of time knocking around the house aswell 5 Quote Link to post

Stressed me out, him out and anyone within 300yards. I then went the other way and fried the twat That made him listen. Now we've got to a point where he knows not to fuuck about but he'll push his point every now and then, which I can take. I see it as my failure but in saying that, I reckon even if I was giving him work every day, 6 months a year.... he'd still be a cnut Quote Link to post
C.green 3,229 Posted September 3, 2021 Report Share Posted September 3, 2021 (edited) All i can say is youse must be noseblind talking of dogs and mistakes i see alot of folk knocking young dogs try to steady them up get them sensible ect i think that can be a big drive killer myself. The young bitch ive got here would be abit much for most folk but people i know that have good animals all like what they see in her. If i can ill do all my pups like this no point falling out with em ect let em be i think. and talking of nerve theres alot of it about about can see it plain as day its one thing that puts me right iff an animal.
